Franklin Fire District #4

Mission Statement

To provide fire protection, prevention, education and safety in the most cost effective manner to all residents, properties and businesses of Franklin Township Fire District #4.

Responsibilities

We have two fire districts because our taxing authority extends over two county lines. Franklin Township is in Somerset County, while South Brunswick is in Middlesex County. In order to provide the most effective coverage to the citizens living in this area, the two fire districts were formed more than 30 years ago.  This is in keeping with State of NJ statues.  This all works due to the extraordinary efforts of the residents of the two areas and the Kingston Fire Company members who live in both areas; South Brunswick's Board takes in lead in most areas for ease of control and because 90% of the taxable revenue comes from the South Brunswick taxpayers, while approximately 10% comes from the Franklin Township residents.
